Forty Signs of Rain

The first of three linked novels set in the strife-torn world of big science, operating out of the corrupt political heart of the developed world. In the interface between big science and big business lies the potential for the absolute destruction or salvation of our world, as new discoveries open ever more remarkable doorways into the future. And while good intentions may underlie the science that leads to these discoveries, human greed, on an individual, political or corporate basis, will always seek a way to exploit each and every new development. Environmental advisor Charlie Quibler must find a way to get a sceptical government to act on the effects of global warming before its to late and they find themselves living in Swamp world.
